(CBS DETROIT) – Trucks will be revving their engines at Ford Field this weekend for the annual Monster Jam event.
Drivers will tear up the dirt and compete in three intense competitions, with one of the competitions being judged by fans in the stands.
Organizers say fans can expect trucks to perform all sorts of tricks and jumps.
Monster truck driver Camden Murphy says these vehicles weigh up to 12,000 pounds with 1,500 horsepower.
Murphy says Monster Jam is always an unforgettable experience, especially when behind the wheel of the famous monster truck ‘Bakugan Dragonoid’.
“It’s like riding a roller coaster, but times ten. I mean, you jump 30, 40, 50 feet in the air and do big crazy jumps, backflips, wild things… it’s unlike anything else said Murphy.
The event will take place March 11-12 at Ford Field. According to the organizers, the tickets are quickly sold out.
